The best "feel good" movie I have ever seen is, without a doubt "The 5 people you meet in heaven", based on the book by Mitch Albom.
Despite the name, this is nothing to do with a religeous notion of "heaven" at all, but rather it is a very clever, entertaining and spiritually moving way of exploring the real meaning of our individual lives (and the story says that this meaning is different for each individual, so there is no universal "meaning of life".
Moreover, the story explores how the way we interact with other people throughout our lives can often have a major influence on both ourselves and the other person, and often at the time we fail to fully notice or understand this.
I won't say too much more because I don't want to spoil it, but it is a brilliant movie which will appeal to anyone and everyone, and leaves you feeling great and looking at your life in a very different way.
It's also just a really entertaining movie, even though it contains virtually NO sex or violence!
